The other recruiting websites followed quickly confirming, including GoBlue Wolverine and ESPN.com’s WolverineNation.

Marshall, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound three-star Rivals.com recruit, committed to Ohio State in February before re-opening his commitment and spent a significant amount of time in the past month visiting Michigan State as well.

Scout.com ranks him as the No. 89 overall prospect in the class.

He is the 10th player in the class and the sixth to commit since the beginning of April.

Of the nine U-M commitments slated for a scholarship — defensive tackle Brady Pallante reportedly may be grayshirted to the following class — ESPN.com ranks eight of them among the Top 150 commits in the class.

Marshall is the third defensive lineman, along with tackles Bryan Mone and Brady Pallante. But the big prize remains, as Rivals.com’s No. 1 player in the country, Virginia defensive end Da’Shawn Hand, is a U-M target.

■ New York, New York: Michigan basketball’s scheduled Dec. 14 game against Stanford at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn will be its third visit to the New York area in two years, a trend coach John Beilein plans to continue. “The reception we’ve had every year that we’ve played there has been tremendous, and I think it’s a plan to get there often,” he said Friday. “Is it every other year, is it every year? I don’t know. Now it will be two years in a row, and there’s a tournament down the line I think we’re obligated to there as well.”
